My father-in-law was Colin Murchie, born, I believed, to James and Maggie Murchie on 24 April 1937 in Adelaide.

I discovered only yesterday, that he was adopted and was actually the son of Dorothy Snow.

As I am trying to update our family tree, I would welcome any information about either the Murchie family, concerning whom I already have a fair amount of information, or the Snow family, about whom I know almost nothing.

Aside from this blog, I also can be reached at rhona.s.murchie@gmail.com.

Give Dianne a bit of time as she might not realise that you have responded for a little while.

I’m not sure what you are after. There are some older posts on this forum re the Snow family, but they could be a bit confusing as you might not know your way around Australian genealogy (although it is heaps easier than online South African genealogy … LOL). I had a look at these older posts and added to the data with various resources. This resulted in a rough outline to help you understand the family background a bit better. It’s not complete and could have some typos, but hopefully Dianne will help you to get further at some stage.
